ijoc-tables-figures
Use when the computational exhibits — performance profiles, runtime-vs-size plots, and results tables — are dense, misleading, or do not answer the question for an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript. Designs exhibits that make the computational claim legible; it does not generate the underlying results.

# Performance Exhibits (ijoc-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- Your results are in giant tables of times and gaps that no reader can parse
- You are comparing several methods across many instances and need a single legible exhibit
- A referee says the figures "do not show the claimed advantage" or are hard to read
- You need to show **scaling** and cannot tell whether the growth is linear, polynomial, or exponential
## The IJOC exhibit toolkit
IJOC exhibits exist to make a *computational* claim legible at a glance. Choose the exhibit to the claim:
- **Performance profile (Dolan–Moré).** The default for "our solver dominates across an instance set." Plot the fraction of instances solved within a factor τ of the best solver; the curve that is highest-and-leftmost wins. Far more honest and readable than a table of per-instance times.
